When the Shah was overthrown and the Ayatollah rose to power in 1979, Aria's idyllic life skidded to a halt. As the surreal began to invade the mundane, with family friends disappearing every day and resources growing scarce, Aria found himself torn between being the man of the house and being a much needed source of comic relief. His antics shone a bright light for his family, showing them how to escape, if only momentarily, the grief and horror that a vengeful revolution brought into their lives. Aria Minu-Sepehr takes us back through his explosive youth, into the heart of the revolution when a boy's hero, held up as the nation's pride, became a hunted man.First Free Press hardcover edition.2012783245609Corrupter of the land -- Breaking the sound barrier -- I raised this one -- Where parallel lines cross -- A grand comedy -- The writing on the wall -- Burning down the house -- The escape -- My own revolution -- Turning rotten -- The chase -- You, too, major? -- Terminal exam -- No generals left -- Declaration.Biography783245609Iranians--20th century97814516521921451652194Iran--Revolution, 1979.Politics and governmentnyu97814516521851451652186Minu-SepehrAriaAria Minu-SepehrRevolution (Iran : 1979)IranIrán
